Oh no, you missed your train to Boston! Find the departure time of the next available train by analyzing the train timetable. The trip should not take longer than 5 hours.Example:<pre class="language-matlab">DepTime = datetime(2016,11,1,[6 8 9],[22 51 05],0)';
ArrTime = datetime(2016,11,1,[9 10 12],[17 32 09],0)';
Destination = categorical({'BOS';'NYC';'BOS'});
tt = timetable(DepTime,Destination,ArrTime)
tt = 
 DepTime Destination ArrTime

This problem needs more test cases, and probably the current time should be added. Or it should be declared that the timetable does not contain past trips.

This code is wrong, since it doesn't check the destination. It should not be accepted!
